In Book Two of Mythos of the Hollowed Souls , paradise is rending at the seams. The nightmarish realm of Ihatithre has bled through—and beings from both realities have seen it.


Seven perspectives. Seven lives colliding.



While Empress Thelyrah uses whatever methods necessary to extract information from traitors caught in the act, her daughter is uncovering secrets that could get her trapped in Ihatithre. Amaz encounters a trap even he might not be able to escape, and Etan’ash has their hands full chasing down the mysterious figure who opened the portal between realities.



And just when it seems things can’t get worse, Te’ire—the young man with wings who readers met in Book One—stumbles upon a gathering that could change his budding romance with Ansi forever…



As forbidden desires ignite and Nuama's systems of control based on an ancient betrayal crumble, each must cling to the order that has protected them for millennia, or risk everything to forge a dangerous new reality.

But when the fate of all realities hangs by so thin a thread, one wrong move could snap it forever.

* A note + TW from the Author

I'm so glad you found this series are like it enough to read Book Two!

My goal is to always create a safe space for my readers, which is why my writing prioritizes satisfying, consensual romantic encounters. If you stick with the story, you'll be well-rewarded with POV characters who are easy to love (or hate), spice that satisfies, and an ever-unfolding labyrinth of secrets and revelations—each more shocking than the last.

This series explores a reality where women rule. In Nuama, they believe males must be subjugated to keep everyone else safe. There are no easy answers here, though personally I believe our own world would be a lot more enjoyable if women held more power—a belief I have imbued in this series and the companion side series (Nuama After Dark + Nuama Side Quests).
